Youtube and VEVO

[viper30000]

I honestly can't see why people have to freak out over Vevo on the music videos. Other than the ads and the censorship I honestly don't see whats so bad.

I really just think its a bandwagon thing and people just say what others do.
Please tell me what I am missing.

I have to go and find another video of X because my foreign friend is too lazy to look for it himself.

[viper30000]

Just search any song and usually there will be a video and the owner would be (Artist name here)VEVO

I am not going to post 50 examples...

[Skip]

Are you trying to start stuff?
"my foreign friend is too lazy".

[viper30000]

No, not really. I just want to know what I am missing here.

Since Youtube joined "the man", nobody can post music by WMA, or get beaten by e-sticks and banhammers.

[viper30000]

Oh, now I get it. So no more videos by average people or they get beaten by the man.

last i checked as long as you gave credit in the description of your video you could use copyrighted music

but i could be wrong.

[viper30000]

I think VEVO only applies to music videos, anything else like background music should be fine if you gave credit.

[brickybob]

As long as it's fair use.

Fair use isn't just giving credit, you're only allowed to use 30 seconds or less of a song.  However you may do multiple songs.

i saw this music video for a third eye blind song that vevo attacked

the soundtrack is now "Bodies".

i forget what video though, it was loving hilarious

[Trifax]

There's nothing actually wrong with VEVO, it's just the idea (for me at least) of a website that used to be about individuals sharing their content and favorite content of others with other users. Now, it's all being processed through corporations, which takes away the individuality.

[GenaralSkar]

You can use music if you give credit and if it's for non-commercial use. But they will put an ad in the video is how it goes I think.
